In rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey, where Mein Kampf is a perennial bestseller, the truths about the Holocaust communicated by this magnificent and harrowing film must not be told. To tell them would be “Islamophobic.”
“Turkish Government Fines Kurdish Channel For Showing the Holocaust Film The Pianist,” Tom Gross, September 17, 2014:
The Turkish State Council for Radio and Television has fined the Kurdish channel Gün TV for showing the Oscar-winning drama film about Wladyslaw Szpilman (played by Adrien Brody) a Jewish pianist who survived the Holocaust. The fine was ostensibly on the grounds that the Pianist was a violent film, even though other films on Turkish TV are much more violent.
Erdogan’s ruling party has on many occasions been accused of anti-Semitism. An opposition deputy condemned the decision to fine the channel as “ridiculous.”

I will never understand why some countries are so touchy on these subjects when they were so long ago. People deserve to be educated on history, especially things of that nature.

The only education according to Muslims is what is in the Quran

Islamic PURITY
Purity in Islam is the veil
The veil is the excuse that Muslims use to rape and murder.
Hitler used a Swastika for Aryan purity and the Nazi excuse to rape and murder.
‘God is the greatest’ is use like ‘Sieg Heil’

ISIS Muslim from Turkey speaks on his (Dog pack courage)
“Everyone shouts, ‘God is the greatest,’ which gives you divine strength to kill the enemy without being fazed by blood or splattered guts,” he said.

Angemon says
Anyone else thinking it was not about the violence but about its portrayal of the Holocaust?

Muslims can rationalize anything when they say ‘the enemies of Allah’.

Turkey has become a very bad country thanks to Erdogan and all of the idiot citizens of Turkey who support him.
mortimer says
Turkey is on the path of Nazification…especially with their welcoming of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian version of the Nazi party.
Jay Boo says
Germany has strong ties with Turkey.
Germany would rather scold Russia about Nazi loving west Ukraine to appease Muslim Turkey than talk about the Holocaust.
Germany is in cahoots with Turkey just like they were with Iran when Ahmadinejad was mockingly denying the Holocaust Germany’s former Nazi slave labor collaborator Daimler Benz Mercedes was buying their engines from Iran’s Khodro Industrial Group (IKCO) for their ‘luxury’ vehicles.

Right-oh. Of course, the fact that Benz was started in 1883 and existed and thrived making some great cars completely without nazis blood money until the mid 1930’s doesn’t matter to you. Nor that after only 10 years of dubious nazi involvement, in 1945 all of Mercedes was left in complete ruin, the factories and facilities all bombed into oblivion so they had to start from scratch. Getting loans from many bankers and funders who, yes, were Jewish. And then they built it up using hard work, talent, risks, and intelligence. For the past 70 years.
Drive by any synagogue when in session and count the Mercedes. Then reflect on the idiocy of your post.
Ivan Bogdanov says
The state of comment on this site continues to degrade contingent of the arrival of fools like this idiot, with its ever increasing rate of drivel production.

You really need to let go of that final solution mentality.

Blah blah
What a cheap diversion

Good point, Don.
I’m afraid a **lot** of companies collaborated with the Nazis, including IBM, Kodak, Hugo Boss, Fanta, and several others. Sorry I can’t post a link; for some reason my mouse isn’t letting me copy and paste, however, if one googles ‘companies involved with Nazi Germany’, a lot of links come up.
Should we boycott them all ? I don’t think so.
So, yes, I agree, an idiotic post.

So, I guess the Three stooges films about: ” Phzzztf, right in the Fuhrer’s face” would not be on prime time in Turkey?
Soloview says
I suspect the movie was banned under Erdogan because it has a Nazi officer saving a Jew. This sort of thing does not help the Islamic Kulturkampf.
PJG says
A great film, worth seeing twice (even my teenage son wanted to see it twice.)
Kepha says
I wonder if the Kurds are holding out feelers towards Israel and Jews in general? It’s interesting how some of their spokesmen have admitted responsibility and expressed remorse for the Armenian and Assyrian horrors. They seem to be turning into the odd men out in a rapidly radicalized Middle East.
